Who Is The First Lady? An Ex or....October 9 2017 By Abiodun Giwa

Barron Trump, President Trump, and First Lady Melania Trump

When for whatever reason, a wife decides to divorce her husband and continues a new life, she automatically stops being the man's wife.All that such a wife has to say about her time with her former husband becomes a story about the past and will have nothing to do with the man's current life story. So much for President Donald Trump's life story, as a man who is opportuned to have been married to some other women before his present wife, Melania, currently known officially as the United States' first lady. And it should not be a cause for argument, if not that a former wife has said she is the first lady during a media interview. Everyone is aware that Melania Trump is U.S. first lady. When another woman, a former wife to the president, named Ivana, goes to the media and says she is the first lady, it is natural for people to ask questions. It is also natural for the official first lady to clear the air that she is the first lady, and for the public to discountenance the former wife's tale about bringing Trump up or Trump's upbringing under her. Curious observers say that this is not a fight by wives as already being wrongly tagged by some observers, but a clarification by the first lady for the public to know that the president's former wife's statement in a media interview that she is the first lady is wrong and anathema. People say that Ivana, the president's former wife, has every right to right any book about her life as the president's former wife, but not to embark on outlandish lies to misinform the public. People say that the interviewer also ought to have corrected her wrong and misplaced impression. The question is being asked that what is the business of interviewing a personality on the set, and knowing the interviewee is not saying the truth, and not call her attention to it, to correct the falsehood. It is clear than in a bright weather day that if Ivana's interviewer has done his or her work as an interviewer, Melania would not need to get herself into the melee. Ivana may have made a mistake about going on the set casting herself as what she is not, and it is the interviewer's responsibility to say "Madam, you are a former wife and not a first lady. Let's get this interview in the right perspective" Period. Everyone knows who is first lady and who is not a first lady. And that a first lady is the current wife in the life of a country's president, and not the man's former wife. The law allows a man and a woman to marry and get divorce, when the going no longer satisfies to both parties in the union. Whatever or whoever may have caused the break up leading to divorce for whatever reason belongs to the past. Melania has done no wrong for coming to make clarification about her position, and her coming out should not be mistaken to mean a fight against Ivana, her husband's former wife. Ivana has every right to remain in a marriage or step away from a marriage. No one has a right to grudge or raise questions to indict anyone about her choice to leave her former husband, unless she decides to tell the tale herself. And if she had loved to be first lady, why did not she stayed and persevered? Lessons for other wives out there to learn to hold to their men, instead of opening the door for another fortunate woman.
